| Posted: 02 Jul 2011 03:35 AM PDT It's been taken to Rome, plundered by the Franks, been held as a prized possession by the Knights Templar and been under the ownership of one Marco Polo and now its in the capable hands of River Song. Action Figure Insider have had a peek at this year Underground Toy's San Diego Comic Con Action Figure Doctor Who exclusive which is none other than the River Song complete with the Pandorica Chair. The set from The Pandorica Opens will be available for sale from the Underground Toys booth #3949 and also the BBC America booth #3629 and will retail for $30.00 (about £18.69.) If that's not enough Pandorica for your Pandorica why the Pandorica chair is also compatible with the Pandorica sides from the Pandorica Wave of action figures- which begs the question: Do you leave the CD's attached to the outside for added authenticity?  | ||

| Posted: 01 Jul 2011 10:00 PM PDT While all of the big (!) events take place this weekend, you might have missed the fact that Doctor Who stars Matt Smith and Karen Gillan will be making their first trip to a little thing called the San Diego Comic-Con next month… Taking place the San Diego Convention Center on July 21st through to the 24th, Matt and Karen will be attending the event, as confirmed by BBC America, in order to promote the series and will be part of a special guest panel. Visitors to the event will be able to catch the Eleventh Doctor and Pond at the BBC America Doctor Who panel on Sunday, July 24th where they will be appearing with Being Human creator and writer of Vampires of Venice, Toby Whithouse, as well as the current series' executive producers Piers Wenger and Beth Willis! As if you didn't have plenty of other reasons to attend the event, then they go and throw this at you…

| Posted: 01 Jul 2011 08:57 PM PDT Twitter is a great politicising body that give the account holder 140 characters or less to hold not only corporations to account but also individuals. Throughout events leading up to and including the Arab Spring uprisings there were two kinds of response on Twitter:
It's not as if these two positions are anything new. Twitter didn't just invent online activism, on the ground reporting and rallying. What it has achieved is to make those areas of the mass media readily available and legitimised the actions of the individual through the power of the 're-tweet' However, it also comes coupled with a challenge; Twitter doesn't need constant maintenance like Facebook, it doesn't remind you its Gary's birthday or that person with the weird shaped head at work wants to be your friend or that you need to add Houses of the Holy to your favourite tracks. It isn't about you, its for you. Twitter represents a sharper, wittier version of yourself who, in a few choice words (making it perfect for mobile access) can create something out of nothing and cut the great and the good straight to the quick; with handily placed hash tag so that everyone knows what you're talking about. With all this potential for change and, conversely, all the self serving opportunities it offers its no wonder you never really get an accurate portrait of the gamut of Who fans online. Stick with the mass media as your guide and you'd think the Whoinverse was just a grab bag of inanities waiting to give colour and structure to the latest quasi-review in the Metro. This is almost the inversion of legitimising through numbers only thanks to that very same hash tag your now part of a readily open stream of opinions you might not share or even credit with any kind of response. You're now representing everything and nothing all at once- you're a Doctor Who fan therefore what ever you say has the air of an expert (even if its self proclaimed) and all because you might have written after one episode: "River Song iz well fit!" All of this inverse snobbery and lazy journalism may throw doubt on the role of the expert in the media (can you imagine the alternative? A Metro review filled with quotes from people like Gavin Fuller linking everything back to some nominal incident in Terror of the Zygons with all the elegance of someone trying to put a libraries worth of prose back in order after a herd of Rhino's had rampaged through the place) but this is only the result of someone trying to retro-fit an existing model onto a new one. Twitter is good for immediacy but terrible for analysis. It can provide users who have never met with the chance to engage with one another. In theory it sounds like a dream and occasionally it works (Steven Moffat for all his professed grumpiness does listen to/correct fans theories/potential plot holes quite regularly), however, as with all like-minded groupings on the Internet it is prone to the whims and ignorances of its users. Now instead of approaching the agencies themselves – like the virtual "Flat Earth Society" who in the wake of the 2012 episodes controversy wrote to Private Eye demanding that they retract their original story because its sources were not named (I can't imagine why such sources wouldn't want to be named? These fans make the world of Doctor Who seem like such a rational place to be) – some fans resorted to grandstanding. Fans that have mounted an online petition against the BBC for a full series of Doctor Who in 2012 and threatened, rather impotently, that there will be consequences if the 50th Anniversary series isn't 22 episodes long (right, so they can't afford 14 episodes in one go and you want that and 8 more on top for the 50th anniversary? I bet you guys cry on Christmas morning…) Like forums before it, the OTT nature of some corners of Who fandom can crowd out the more rational, inquisitive fans who use Twitter to engage with both the creators of Doctor Who and the commentators. Don't you think it's time for some realism?  | ||

| Posted: 01 Jul 2011 06:47 PM PDT Geek frenzy is spreading throughout France as Comic Con Paris, which began on Thursday, ramps up to its final rounds of le awesome this weekend. As we reported a few weeks ago, Sir Moffat of TARDIS (aka Doctor Who executive producer Steven Moffat) is vacationing in la ville d'amour to sip some champagne, bite some baguettes, and, oh yeah, be mobbed by thousands of adoring fans at this Parisian sci-fi event. Thanks to Beans-on-Toaster and friend of Kasterborous Aurélie Demonchaux, we can tell you that following Thursday's screening of Les Anges Pleureurs (Blink) and Friday's two-part showing of La Bibliothèque des Ombres (Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead), today sees a complete departure from Moffaty Whoness in favor of Moffaty Sherlockness, with a screening, an actor signing, and a panel featuring Roland Timsit, the artistic director of the show's French-voiced edition, and Gilles Morvan, the voice of Mr. But the big moment, if you're a descendant of Louis XVI (or just happen to be in the nation where he lived), comes tomorrow, when the Grand Moff proves he exists by hosting a screenwriting masterclass, attends the French-dub premiere of The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon, speaks at a panel, kisses your photos, and signs your babies. If you're at the convention, not only will you see one of the world's greatest living imaginations in the flesh, if that's even possible, you'll also learn whether or not said imagination can speak fluent French. Beans on Toast has a discussion thread for each day of the convention so those who attend can share their experiences with the world or arrange to meet up with other BOTians… here's Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and the grand finale that is Sunday.  | ||
